You've waited a whole year, and the moment is finally here! Ellen's triumphant return of CAT WEEK kicks off today, and this year we've added more cats than ever before. Let the cat videos begin!

Then, she's kind, she's smart, she's important -- Academy Award winner VIOLA DAVIS is in the studio for a sit-down interview with Ellen! From her haunting role in "Doubt" to her stunning performance in "The Help," Viola has proven to be one of the greatest actresses of our time. She's here to discuss her big-budget new project that has her starring up against Harrison Ford!

Plus, our favorite girls from Jersey, SNOOKI and JWOWW are in the house! They're here to discuss not one, but their TWO shows! They're starring together in the aptly named reality series, "Snooki & JWoww," and Snooki has been tearing up the dance floor every week on "Dancing with the Stars"! She's here with her sizzling dance partner SASHA FARBER for a special dance performance!

Next, Ellen is meeting an inspiring couple that's about to start their lives together in the wake of a national tragedy. REBECCA GREGORY and PETE DiMARTINO were both injured in the Boston marathon, but through their recovery, their love only grew stronger, and now they're engaged! They're telling Ellen the emotional story today.
